Nutting out your kit…
GIve yourself an hour or two to chill out and make a mug for your cuppa!
A few things to consider:
Your clay will shrink about 12% from first making to the finished product.
The weather will impact how fast/slow your clay dries, just go with it, don’t rush it by putting it in the sun as it will cause cracking.
If it all fails you can scrunch it up and start again!
Try to resist the urge to use too much water - it might look nice now, but will crack eventually! Instead, use your fingers to compress any lumps and bumps and ugly areas.
If your clay is too wet to respond how you want, just leave where it is, out of the sun and check back every 30 mins.
